I work specifically with womxn clients who relate to the idea of being a highly-sensitive person, or HSP. Being a sensitive woman can be traumatic, both in our families, and in the world beyond.
There is nothing wrong with how you were made. I want to help you find your power, connect to your intuition, and embrace yourself exactly as you are.
In my practice, my emphasis is on doing fundamental healing work through EMDR and Internal Family Systems therapy. We can also utilize other approaches when it feels right for the work.
EMDR
EMDR is a highly evidence-based modality that uses bilateral stimulation of the brain to tap into our natural psychological healing process. Learn more about EMDR here.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems therapy helps us to connect with our internal “parts,” including our inner children, and our core Self. It helps to de-pathologize coping strategies that may have started to get in the way, and is steeped in self-compassion. Learn more about IFS here.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
KAP is an incredible way to go even deeper with your healing, and is a natural fit with EMDR and IFS. KAP is never a required part of individual therapy, but it's an option when appropriate and desired. Learn more here about how we can work together with KAP.
The Full Picure
I commonly reference cultural influences like capitalism, the dominance of White culture, and patriarchy in my work. These forces have impacts on all of us, and can have significant psychological effects. It's important for us to talk about them as part of how we show up in the world.
And although I don't operate from a specific religious standpoint, I do reference spirituality in my work. I believe that working with a higher power is fundamental to healing. I am also a certified reiki master, which I can integrate into our work when it's right.
I currently offer individual online counseling for residents of Colorado and Oregon.
I also offer “intensives,” which are longer sessions that get into deeper material. Sometimes you need more than an hour to get to where you need to go. Intensives happen in-person in Bend, Oregon. Learn more about intensives here.
If this approach resonates for you, reach out to schedule a free consultation.
I am credentialied in Oregon with PacificSource Commercial, Aetna, Optum, CareOregon, and Providence. Intensives may only be able to be covered for one hour of work, but I work with CareCredit to provide options for clients to pay for services in installments. My private pay rate is $175/hour.
